Notes

• For pasta, add a tablespoon of olive oil and salt to the water boil. Even after draining, add a little more salt and a little more olive oil. The oil helps to keep the pasta from sticking. Thinner pasta takes less time to cook. Angel hair only takes 3 to 4 minutes.
• There are a couple ways to chop an onion depending on how they would be cooked. Cut with the line if it will be cooked. Otherwise, use as raw.
